J. Nottingham's residence, at Tenth and
NJ streets, was entered by burglar Tuesday
night, but no booty gained. The rascal got
in through a window. As the weather be-
comes warmer, and open windows are the
rule at night frequent visits of this charac
ter may be expected unless housekeepers

measures.

hinted that the undue anxiety Of one of the
Jurors to learn which of the parties to the

an intimation to other jurors that it is not
we'll to NEEDLE with anything except the
law and the evidence.
About O'Clock yesterday morning Chief
Dillman and officer Farrell, who had been
patrolling the streets in the hope of catch
ing a burglar, sat down upon pile of po-
tato sacks at Dierssen's grocery, Ninth and
L streets. They had net been there long
when they heard the door opening quietly.
and discovered Dierssen slipping out with
a big club, which he evidently intended to
wear out over their backs. Thieves have
been making themselves altogether too
familiar with his potatoes lately, and 1t was
rather disappointing, when he thought he
" had got couple of them, to have TO
calm himself so suddenly.
